People on the Street for Dec. 9

When you do your holiday shopping, do you shop locally owned stores, big-box stores or online?

Asked Friday in downtown Chico

Courtney Jansen, unemployed, Chico

I don't do holiday shopping. I don't buy into the consumerism with the holidays. I grew up Jehovah's Witness so we stopped doing it but I came into it on my own as I got older and did my own research. If I did celebrate I'd buy local or I'd make things.

Natasha Easton, student, Chico

I buy locally. It's more convenient for me because I don't have a car or a credit card. I appreciate the local businesses and I always buy locally. You can find everything you want downtown, you just have to look. I hope everyone shops locally.

Russell Jones, unemployed, Chico

I don't know if I'll be doing any holiday shopping this year. I'm struggling with finances. So, whether Christmas happens or not, I don't know.

Bruce Jans, video producer, Butte Valley

I'll buy mostly online. It's more convenient. I normally shop online.

Olivia Perry-Smith, student, Redding

Hopefully, locally. I have a value for small businesses — my parents own a small business.

Mary-Ann Schwenk, retired, Pinole

Not online. I like to support local stores. We drive up to Chico to shop because we love the stores and at home we buy local. We like to support local stores.
